50 Things To Do With Booby Prizes

SAFETY DEPOSIT BOX - We’ve all been there. Running through your daily routine,
you collect your interest, get a few hundred Neopoints from the Turmaculus,
and maybe managed a dubloon from good ol’ Coltzan if you were lucky. Feeling
pretty good, you mosey on over to Tombola and - ARGH! A BOTTLE of SAND?! Now
you’re good mood is down the tubes, and you probably freaked out your pet a
bit.

Breathe, my friend.

You’re not alone. I, out of boredom and far too much free time to be healthy,
have found several ways to cope with that boring Bottle of Blue Sand or that
accursed bag of Finger Crisps. Like what, you ask? ONWARD!

1) Take several of those boring Bottles of Sand and construct your own personal
private beach! Heck, you could start your OWN Tombola if you wanted to.

2) Take all of those Volcanic Rocks from your Safety Deposit Box ( Who wants
that smelly old Packrat Avatar, anyway? ) and stack them all into gigantic three-sided
pyramid. Say it’s a problem for the Lenny Conundrum and laugh as people hurt
their brains trying to figure it out.

3) Use those raggedy old Sandals to run away as previously referred people
chase you for hurting their brains.

4) Take several of those boring Bottles of Sand and construct your own beach
IN YOUR NEOHOME. Then throw a party that would put Gadsgadsbogen to shame and
guilt-trip the guests into cleaning up for you.

5) Using a Chocolate Faerie Cake, a box of Wheat Flakes, and a Tin of Olives,
invent a new one-of-a-kind ‘gourmet’ food and sell it for thousands and thousands
of Neopoints.

6) Use those sandals again to flee in terror from whoever bought the ‘gourmet’
food.

8) Throw a bunch of Volcanic Rocks into the sea and create a giant bridge from
Neopia Central to Mystery Island. Then gather a mob that is equally irked at
Tombola for their lack-of-codestone-and-bottled-faerie-ness.

9) Take a few bottles of sand, pour out the sand, and melt it into a molten
lump of melted sand-type-deal. Once it hardens you have ANOTHER BOTTLE! Isn’t
that cool?!?! ....Hello? Where did everyone go?

10) Phhft. Only intelligent people use a mallet in Whack-a-Staff Member....
Volcanic Rocks can be thrown! ^-^

11) That bag of Semolina can turn into an awfully comfy pillow, you know...
as long as you don’t mind the smell.

12) On a tight budget? Stifled by the hundreds of Jars of Olives? Hand them
all out to your Neofriends when Christmas rolls around! Sure, they may never
speak to you again, but who needs friends when you’ve got a personal private
beach?

13) Take several Bottles of Sand and construct your own beach IN YOU NEOFRIEND’S
NEOHOME! ^-^ Now not only will they never speak to you, but you may have a restraining
order from the Chia Police as well.

14) Acting as if the sand were Faerie Dust, dash about peppering everything
in sight and ‘cursing’ people unless they give you the information you need
for your Brain Tree Quest.

15) Man, those Sandals sure come in handy, don’t they?

16) Training you pet? Empty out that Bottle of Sand and try to convince Fyora
to climb into the bottle.

17) Use the Volcanic Rock as a tombstone when Fyora smites you.

18) Play ‘Spin the Bottle of Sand’ with Lord Darigan.

19) Use another Volcanic Rock for a tombstone when Darigan smites you.

20) If you have enough boxes of Wheat Flakes, construct a GIANT staircase to
the Hidden Tower, and ask Fyora if her Ice Scorchstone is running.

21) Somehow work the GIANT Staircase of Wheat Flakes into a Lenny Conundrum.

22) Construct a castle from Bottles of Sand and give people confusing anagrams
as they enter.

23) Use those Sandals to escape Eliv Thade’s wrath of copyright infringement.

50) PUT THEM IN A GALLERY! ^_^ That’s right, I’ll bet you’ve never seen a gallery
constructed entirely of Booby Prizes. Why, you may ask? Because everyone is
too busy using them for the reasons above! So get going! You don’t want to get
left behind, do you?

and we can play with my Usuki Dolls? I have every single one. TWO of every single
one. And my servants will give you whatever you want. They have to. I can make
them."

A Storybook Tale: Part Two"It takes many faeries to stop a single pet,
and we aren't that many of light. Some have already fled and others have joined
forces with darkness. We need a pet to fight a pet!" Lyster pleaded.

The fortress was now full of mutants because of him, and now he wanted to change
this poor Ruki into one too. It was a truly fearful thought.
